Oh My God
You said it was all innocent adoration
You fell in love with the breeze
The freer that you are to delight in sensation
The freer you are to be
As a child you went running
To the arms of your mother
For the warmth of a kiss on your cheek
And her love is as soft and light as a feather
And served as a guide to your dreams
Oh my god, I’ve lost my way
Mama wont you carry me home
If this breath were the last of our life’s incantations
What words would you wish to impart
Though our lives are a swirl of desire and disruption
We’ll go running with a smile in our hearts
As I wait to be freed from the shell of my body
Be relieved of its earthly confines
I see light from the world all around slowly fading
As the earth moves in silence behind

Naive Lovers

Naïve Lovers
We were young naïve lovers, out on the old highway
Riding freight trains, across the states
We were both bound to running, deserted quiet nights
To cleanse our hearts of small town minds
Our hair was dyed and dreaded and
Piercing jeweled her nose
We passed unknown like homeless folks
We heard the call and answered our destiny awaits
With souls on fire, we gave our chase
Chorus A: There’s no place where she ever long to be
B: Place when were old
A: Long enough to feel she ain’t free
B: Share all we know
A: Her blue eyes saw the world she gave to me
B: Her eyes saw the world
A: How I long to be the man she used to see
B: Salt to the earth
Our lives we bind in writing, adventures weighed in gold
The simple gifts, we watch unfold
Through the fallen leaves of winter
And summers warm return
The distant whistles our trains roll on.

My Dawn Is An Endless Night
I know it seems, I’m lost at sea
That when I’m here, I act like a fool
I know you’ve seen it all before
I lost my way, through endless days
Now when I pray, I don’t know what for
It seems loves an open door
Chorus
You know I’d give nothing more
To be as we were before
Something has to change
My dawn is an endless night
With no one to share sunrise
Every waking morn.
Some other day while we’re astray
Alone I’ll lay and wish to the stars
Another chance to know your heart

Won’t Cross Over The Line
I’m toeing the line again
The rivers rolling on by
My minds on the other side of it
Wont cross over the line
The first thing I’ll do is kick off these worn out shoes
Step into the river kick off these walking blues
As a man I’ve been walking trying to pay my dues
I’m tired of fighting some loving gonna do me some good
Take my hand darlin’ I’ll treat you right
Lets give it a chance baby lets dance tonight
Gonna make it alright
I’m Toeing the line again….
Well I might be a fool for loving you through and through
For pickin’ this guitar and singing these blues for you
Your hands in my pocket your living life fast and cool
All I want is a moment to show you how a man gonna do
Take my hand darlin’ I’ll treat you right
Lets give it a chance baby lets dance tonight
Gonna make it alright

Showered In Your Grace

Showered In Your Grace
We have already known this road before
Everyone a piece of the light let it pass let it fall
The weeds have all grown tall
Our love inside is all but lost in the world
There was a time when we thought it was all our own
Looking back it’s lost in a haze all that’s left is a ghost
I never heard its call
And now I’ve gone to far to make it back home
Saw a flicker of light from the side of my mind
Turned my head to the wind it bathed and warmed me inside
I felt you on my face
Showered in your grace as tears filled my eye
Had it all figured out had my face in the moon
All the stars in the night came aligned as I stood there with you
Your hour’s come to soon
As wonderful as life is now it’s a tomb

For Your Soldier
05:32
|
|||
I’m in the mood for a friend, only my pen seems to listen
And the paper that it’s staining, and I feel all alone but satisfied
At the end of the day, it can feel so gratifying
A little stillness and some silence, to watch it all slowly fade away.
Chorus
Hmm, I’m lying, with a picture of you by the fire
Life seems to flicker in your face.
It’s a warm winter eve. You’ve a blanket on your shoulders
Knitting one more for your soldier, who lay alone underneath a foreign sky
While you’re across that Harlem moon, far away from your lover
And your heart it waits under cover, till he lay once again inside your arms
Well I’m sitting out of sight, just the light from my candle
Twists and turns on my table, trying so hard to take flight
But we’re all bound to this land, on the tides of the ocean
Rise and fall on emotion, it’s the same little devil every time
Hmm, I’m lying, holding pictures of you by the fire
Life seems to flicker in your face
It’s a lovely quiet night, and my stillness brought me longing
For my lover’s heart beat throbbing, I lay my ear soft & gentle on her chest

Long Grown Cold

Long Grown Cold
If it’s true that we’re in this life together
Then why, do I feel so alone?
I see love get passed from one to others
Not for me my heart has long grown cold
There are miles, many miles left to travel
Lord I’m down to shedding my last skin
Long ago I knew things would unravel
The night I found my lady heroin
One whisper from the wind
Fly the ashes of a dream
On a silent lonely night
A light is passing as one takes flight
Mamma don’t you worry bout the answers
We both know, they change in any light
When no more shadows cast from our old travels
Where once they played and danced for your delight.
One whisper from the wind
Fly the ashes of a dream
On a silent lonely night
A light is passing as one takes flight

Devil's Dust

Devils Dust
Well shuffle your feet and kick off your devils dust
I got a notion I’m hoping honey we can discuss
There ain’t any reason for locking our spirits up
Well it’s pleasure I’m seeking and you’re such a pretty face
Lets ride the wind share a laugh,
And get our selves a little blazed
You’re hearts been in prison, for many a cold long day
Some people got a way of getting in your head
They’re talking the blues while living a dream instead
I’ve been a thinking on how I’m gonna see this through
Yeah I’ve got a feeling nothing in this world gonna do
I’m needing some lovin, and feeling like it’s long over due

Troubles Come Over Our Love
I try and I try lord for some reason why
Trouble’s come over our love
I’ll sit and I’ll wait cause I know what’s at stake
I can’t seem to rise to the cause
In my heart all if feel is disaster
In my mind all I know is my fault
Though it’s a sad situation
When a Saturday rains starts to fall
We’ll sit and we’ll wait for an answer
Our wounds are all filling with salt
I don’t wanna know it’s a burdening load
That we’re just afraid to let go
Time has lead us away from our earlier days
When we walked along soul to soul
In your heart all you feel is disaster
In your mind all you know is your fault
Though we once swore at the alter
To love beyond all we control
Our love has turned into monsters
We’re screaming whenever we phone
When we’re old and grey, all our lives have unfolded
There is but one escape, to embrace the unfolding

Babe, Be Mine Tonight
It’s alright with me if you need to cry
I’ll be your shelter, come rain or shine
I’ll be your shoulder on which you might sigh
Babe, be mine tonight
Chorus:
Heart ache and pain’s it aint what we ask for
Wise words and dreams they came in a song
Warm southern breeze is blowing my cover
Angelic wings, they’re easing my fall
When you are ready, I hope that you’ll see
Nothing’s, too heavy for me
It’s alright with me, darling take your time
Don’t let worry, trouble your mind
Darling Come to me, let me help you rise
Babe, be mine tonight
Babe, be mine tonight
